dopeIPTV 0.6.0

A big feature release focused on getting started, Trakt, the EPG, and polish.

Getting started

  • Try it without a provider — a "🎬 Demo channels" button on the welcome
    screen loads a few free public test streams so you can exercise the whole
    app before entering any credentials.
  • M3U playlists — alongside Xtream Codes you can now add any free/legal
    .m3u playlist URL (e.g. iptv-org). Pick the type in the playlist dialog or
    the onboarding wizard.
  • Onboarding wizard — full in-window welcome with language pick, a short
    feature tour, and Esc to dismiss.

Trakt — one click, zero setup

  • Sign in with Trakt now opens your browser, you click "Yes", and you're
    connected — no codes, no manual API keys (dopeIPTV ships its own registered
    app; power users can still bring their own in Settings).

Watched

  • Movies and episodes are auto-marked watched once you've seen ~90%, in
    the local layer — the badge appears without Trakt, and syncs up to Trakt
    when connected.

Favorites

  • Unified folders across Channels, Movies and Series: a plain
    "Add to favorites", an "Add to folder" submenu, and create/rename/remove
    folders from the sidebar's right-click menu.

EPG

  • New horizontal timeline grid: colour-coded channel rows, programmes as
    blocks, a live "now" line, and pinned time header + channel column. Click to
    select, double-click to play, right-click to record a programme.
  • Timeshift channels open the board up to 48h into the past with catch-up
    playback
    of finished programmes; a "Now" button jumps back to the present.
  • From Favorites the guide is scoped to your favorite channels.

Player & windows

  • Adaptive first-run window sizing to your actual display; a larger,
    letterbox-free mini player that scales with the screen.
  • Picture-in-Picture always-on-top on Wayland (via the title-bar menu),
    plus an opt-in "Run via X11 backend" for a frameless, always-on-top PiP with
    right-click-on-video.
  • Opening an external player (mpv/VLC) now asks first if the mini player is
    busy, so it won't trip single-connection accounts.

Other

  • About dialog: version, an automatic update check that shows the newest
    release's notes and a download link, and TMDB attribution.
  • Recordings: a total recordings-folder size cap that refuses new
    recordings once reached.
  • Tighter section headers, clearer EPG scrollbars, and lower memory use
    (bounded metadata/artwork caches).
